My GPA is 3.0 UW and 3.2 W, I took mostly honors and AP courses throughout my high school career and passed them with an overall A or B average. I will admit I struggle on the exams and didn’t do too hot. Speaking of exams I got a 1200 on the new SAT apparently that’s good from what I’ve heard, is that true? As for ACT I haven’t taken it yet but I’m hoping to score at least 28.
As for extracurricular activities I was pretty involved in athletics. Being on the varsity wrestling (captain), weightlifting, and football teams. I was part of the Honors council, Principal’s Advisory Committee, and a member of the Medical Academy for high school students in our county. For hours, I don’t have any, but I intend on getting a job and get hours on that since my school has a program for it.
I plan to apply to FAU, FIU, UCF, UTampa, and Miami to major in International Relations. I’m a senior too. Will I at least get into the first three choices?
I screwed up my freshman year and ended up with a 3.0, I honestly don’t know how it didn’t go back up.
For international relations, look at Goucher as well as Hobart and William Smith.
What about Rollins? Ole Miss?
Run the NPC.
FAU, FIU should be okay. Apply to the honors college at both.
Look into ncf.
Ucf is better for stem then for humanities / social science, and it’s experiencing growing pains.
My mom’s alma mater is Rollins, and I received in an e-mail from the school that I was now a select applicant.
‘select applicant’ means nothing. It’s just a marketing ploy to make out feel special, when in fact it was triggered by test scores and sent by a third party to recruit applicants with certain stats. Take advantage of it if it’s free just if it makes the essay optional do it anyway as it may keep pushing out if running from some scholarships or from honors.
yeah… 1200 sat is nothing to jump about also 28 act is equivalent to roughly a 1250-1280 new sat so you need to “try harder” on it.
